PM Nawaz took notice of the statements against ex-COAS Raheel Sharif. He advised the leaders of his own party PML-N to avoid passing controversial remarks about the general who lead Operation Zarb-e-Azb to fight terrorism in Pakistan.
Earlier, Sindh Governor Muhammad Zubair said last week that Nawaz Sharif held all credit for Karachi operation, adding that the former COAS was a common man and normal general, however, credit of the Karachi operation was given to him by the media.
